Anyone who registers will be kept up to date with recruitment news or job opportunities matching their criteria.

A spokesperson for the project said: “If we can employ every single one of our team from the local area then we will. We will always seek to recruit locally first and we are already working with schools and colleges to grow the workforce of the future, as well as creating apprenticeship opportunities and offering student sponsorship.”

And it’s not just miners that can apply - skills needed on the project include tradespeople, technicians, scientists, engineers, business analysts, IT specialists and administrators.

There will also be opportunities for apprentices, graduates and people with transferable skills.

Attributes York Potash lists as “as important as experience and qualifications” include:

• Absolute commitment to our goal of Zero Harm

• Strong communication skills as well as strong literacy and numeracy

• Respect for the local environment

• Reliability, teamwork and a positive attitude

• If you think you have what it takes to work for York Potash register here.

Hundreds of jobs will be available during construction - from experienced engineers to semi or unskilled workers.

The spokesperson added: “Whilst some of these positions will require specific experience which is not available in the local area, we will ensure our construction contractors maximise opportunities for local people, and will work with local councils and colleges to provide training where necessary.”
